The 26-year-old Dubliner posted on Twitter: "Sitting cage-side with the baddest heavyweight in all of combat sports, Iron Mike Tyson.

"Post fight selfie with the Terminator and the Terminator Jr. Amazing night at the MGM.

"Blessed every day of my life!! 7 weeks I take over the game."

The brash brawler understands why people compare him to other fighters but that he is not comparable to anyone.

Speaking on Thursday after a workout at the TUF gym in Las Vegas, he said: " "Look, every contest, they compare me to somebody new.

"The Americans are trying to compare me to Muhammad Ali.

"I've been compared to everybody in the fight game.

"But I am just me.

"This just human nature.

"People look to relate you to somebody that they know, that they are familiar with.

"It's just human nature, people do that, but time will tell that I am not any of them.

"I am me, and the next young kid that's on his way up , he will be compared to me. This is human nature."

McGregor has won 13 fights in a row and feels people aren't giving his fighting skills enough credit.

He explained why he feels people claim that his talking skills got him a title shot: "They've gotta tell themselves something: 'He's got this, because he can do this, it's not because of what he can do better than me.'

"Again, human nature.

"People will put it somewhere, so that it's not eclipsing them.

"But it's the whole package here, I don't just talk the talk, I walk the walk, and that is it.

"You could bring any of the champions back, any of the people who where in the game before, back in my time, and I would still run the game."

The Crumlin native's fighting skills and his striking personality have earned him lucrative sponsorship deals with big brands including Reebok.

His opinion is that if you want to get the big deals, you have to earn it.

He said: "You can either sit and you can moan and complain and become bitter about it, and then the energy will take over you and more bitterness will come, more negativity will come, and it will grow and grow and grow.

"Or you can sit back and say: 'It's time now to put in the work, to get them Reebok sponsorships'.

"To get them big sponsorships, you need to put in the work.

"You need to show up, you need to say what you're gonna do and you need to go out and do it.

"You don't need to be fake, you don't to be anything. Be yourself, say what you're gonna do, show up and do your job. Be positive and good things will come.

"This is the game we are in. You can not expect to be debut, two, three fights in, wins and losses, middle of the road, and not generating anything and expect to be given everything.

"You've gotta go and you've gotta take it. I am blessed, that I see things that way and everyone else should see things that way."
